Izumi/Detective
mmm.. They're now sending papers instead of emails and calls.
Izumi/Detective
Izumi/Detective
Where did you find it?
Client 1
Client 1
It's found between the files on my table.
Izumi/Detective
Izumi/Detective
Really? We can narrow down the suspects that way. It's obvious that he's working at your company now.
Client 1
Client 1
Yes. But I didn't hear any complaints about me. I always grant leaves and vacations, Gives bonuses and prioritize taking care of my employees as long as they do their work nicely.
Client 1
Client 1
Everyone says, I'm a good leader to rely on. I don't want to believe my employees did this.
Izumi/Detective
Izumi/Detective
Don't worry sir, They didn't do this. With this letter I kind of shortlisted our suspects.
Izumi/Detective
Izumi/Detective
"Et tu, Brute?" are the Latin words which mean "Even you, Brutus?". They're the last words uttered by the former Roman Dictator Julius Caesar seeing his good friend stabbing him too along with the others.
Izumi/Detective
Izumi/Detective
And Julius Caesar is in the higher position than Brute. So, It's my guess that, The one who sent you this is your higher up who felt betrayed by you.
Client 1
Client 1
Well, I'm the CEO of the company. and I don't have any higher ups than the chairman himself. Wait, You don't mean---?
Izumi/Detective
Izumi/Detective
I'm not sure. There is a possibility that it might be one of your friends or lover, Who gave this to you through your lowest employee by showing them money.
Izumi/Detective
Izumi/Detective
It can also be your competitors, Who deliberately choosed these words. So, You'll suspect chairman and be on bad terms with him.
Client 1
Client 1
We're already on bad terms to be honest. He only kept me because all of my employees support me and for my work.
Izumi/Detective
Izumi/Detective
What about the company's board members or vice president?
Client 1
Client 1
They're neutral.
Client 1
Client 1
They just follow the chairman and mind their business. As for the Chairman even if he hates me personally, I don't think he's stupid enough to bring it till the work.
Izumi/Detective
Izumi/Detective
Why does he hate you anyway? Did you marry his ex girlfriend or something?
Client 1
Client 1
Hahaha, That's the detective for you. May be. I heard my wife used to date him for some time during her college days, But they soon broke up after a year.
Client 1
Client 1
But, I don't think it's a reason to hold grudge. Like Why now after all the time? When even our kids are also big enough to introduce their partners and discuss the marriage with us.
Izumi/Detective
Izumi/Detective
He he, Didn't expect that sir.
Izumi/Detective
Izumi/Detective
I'm sure now, That he's the one who sent you the threat letters. All I need now is to search for the proof.
Client 1
Client 1
But Why?
Izumi/Detective
Izumi/Detective
Did the situation between you two get more worse since April?
Client 1
Client 1
Yes, But How do you know? and more importantly Why?

Ren/Café Club member 2
It's weird, I thought there will be atleast 10 police cars from the way he said how you're a wanted criminal along with uncle ken
Izumi/Detective
Izumi/Detective
No Ren, I think that sniper is working on this case on his own without police department's help. We would have known about it otherwise. My Dad has many friends in police officers. Atleast Takashi uncle would have atleast told us what's going on.
Ren/Café Club member 2
Ren/Café Club member 2
Jun's father right? Yeah. He would atleast stop his daughter from working with a heinous criminal like you...
Izumi/Detective
Izumi/Detective
heinous? come on Ren😅
Ren/Café Club member 2
Ren/Café Club member 2
That's how that client had put it.
Ren/Café Club member 2
Ren/Café Club member 2
